Every two minutes of each day a child is injured in a play area - 70% of the injuries result from falls to the surface
Liability lawsuits may be very costly if an accident
occurs at a child activity facility which does not have safety
surfacing that meets State and/or Federal safety standards. Compare the cost of liability vs the cost of the safety surfacing
Most states require that all child activity facilities
meet ASTM, CPSC, ADAAG provisions for proper
and adequate safety surfacing
Indoor facilities now also require safety surfacing - not just
outdoor facilities
It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little
